Rob Crichton

A unique young man, struggling to find his place in the world, has decided that, rather than look to fit in or find his community, he'd rather squat in the attic of a stranger's family. He tells the story of how he came to make this decision.

Burnt Portraits follows a popular singer (Sam Crichton), whose naivety lands him in deep trouble as he finds himself in the company of a slightly unusual artist in his dim studio (played by writer/director Leo X. Robertson). Once the singer awakens he quickly hits it off with the artist, forming an unexpected bond despite their differences. However, it's not long until the singer's trustiness sneaks up on him as sinister chaos begins to erupt.
